DriveWithCompassion was created in January of 2018 for stray animals living on the streets of Puerto Rico and around the world. The things that I saw while living in Puerto RIco with respect to strays animals, can never be unseen.
The purpose of DriveWithCompassion is for people to incorporate animal welfare into their daily lives. When we get into our cars, it’s not just about the safety of other drivers and ourselves. We need to consider all living creatures living in the street and the wild. It’s not acceptable to just run over an animal like you ran over some garbage and leave them for dead. We must Drive With Compassion. There’s no humanity without animal welfare.
While DriveWithCompassion is mostly geared towards animal welfare and rescue, we also cover civil rights, gun violence, finance, major current event topics and etc. All topics are written from a perspective of humanity for both animals and people.
The DriveWithCompassion video above is one of the most powerful animal advocacy videos in decades. The last time the world heard such a powerful message was in 1980 when mothers formed the group “Mothers Against Drunk Driving.” Also known as MADD.
Susan Rubin is not Maria Sanchez, a worried mother living in South Florida.. Nope.. Susan Rubin lives in Washington DC and she has NO children.. She does not even have one child. But, on March 6th at 4:23 pm, on a recorded line to 311 Broward County, she clamied to be Maria Sanchez, a worried mother living in South Florida… Rubin could not even pronounce the city she claimed to be living in. And at first, she was not even sure what city she lived in: North Miami or Hallandale.. It was a false report. Rubin was CAUGHT on a recorded line. The actual call is just below. I have enclosed 2 links to Rubin’s Youtube and Facebook videos in case anyone to wants compare the voice in those videos, to the voice you’re about to hear on one of the craziest, most criminal 311 calls in history just below.. The links are below the first paragraph below the recorded call.
It’s recommedned to read the full article before listening to Rubin’s unhinged 311 call just below. This way the reader will have actual context. If anyone listens to the call first, please finish reading the article afterwords so you can understand the magnitude of Rubin’s false report call. We Got the Recording!
Susan Rubin is Not Maria Sanchez from South Florida.. No. She is not. Susan Rubin is from Wash DC, and she has No children.. I have enclosed 2 links below to Rubin’s Youtube and Facebook videos in case you want to compare the voice in those videos, to the voice you hear on one of the craziest 311 calls in history. It is 100% Susan Rubin of Washington DC.
There is NO Maria Sanchez on my block. There is No house number 821 on my block. It does not exist. If she denies making this call in court, she will also be charged with perjury. That’s in addtition to making the false report call to 311 Broward in the first place, which is a crime in all 50 states. Not to mention, her top to bottom fraudulent campaign on GoFundme, which I exposed on March 6th, 2024 at 3pm in my feature story. Susan Rubin is in massive trouble. Personally, I believe she will end up being arrested for her intentional false report call.. Rubin’s call had nothing to do with animal welfare and everyting to do with retaliation because of the article I wrote blowing the roof off her fraudulent campaignon GoFundMe.
Here are links to Rubin’s YouTube and Facebook videos if you want to compare the voice on her fase report call to the voice in the videos.
Why did she make that call on March 6h at 4:23 pm? – That is a great question. The answer is because at 3pm on the very same day, I posted a massive feature story exposing her fraudulent campaign on GoFundMe, where she was using pictures of another dog not in her possession, nor having anything to do with the dogs she was raising money for. She did that to defraud her donors and drive donations higher. The article is also about her violating our agreements regarding a trial period with my BabyLady. The trial period failed. It’s time for BabyLady to come home.
The collage cover picture above is the written report from animal control regarding Susan Rubin’s recorded call they received at 4:23 pm on March 6th… Notice what she said about me, my mother and my sister at the top of the animal control report. We are all mentally ill.. What does my sister and Mother have to do with this? – Susan Rubin is a piece of garbage and is completely BUSTED.
On March 6th, 2024, Susan Rubin call 311 Broward at 4:23 pm saying I defied a citation. See the image above which is Lucky’s vaccination from December 29th, 2023.. This was the first citation I have ever recieved. The entire call was a false report.
Additionally, on Susan Rubin’s unhinged, criminal call to 311 Broward, besides lying about living in Florida and “her make believe children,” she said that my dogs were always running loose around the neighborhood. Which is odd, considering none of my dogs run loose in the neighborhood. That has only been my dog Lucky from time to time when he pulls his escape artistroutines like he did back in Puerto Rico.. I have been writing about that for years. But, she repeated and repeated all of my dogs run around the neighborhood. Dr. Disingenuous, Jennifer Jablow, said a similar thing on February 11th about all of my dogs. When it was actually only Lucky.. Hey, It’s like they say, “Birds of a Feather Flock Together.” Susan Rubin and Jennifer Jablow definitley flocked together on February 11th, 2024.
The Citation Remarks Below – CRAZY – See the link in this Paragraph
But, Rubin’s false report call did not end there. She then went on to say that I have been threatening my neighbors. Um, threatening my neighbors for what? – For being good neighbors? – Then, just a few moments later on the same call, Rubin claims that all my dogs have rabies. She said it over and over again. She claimed that I ignored a “citation” regarding my dog Lucky getting vaccinated and that I was bragging to my neighbors that I would defy the citation. Picture any 54 year old doing that. What a jackass. Please click on this link here to see Lucky’s rabies vaccination record from December 29th, 2023.. And remember, when you are looking at Lucky’s vaccine, remember, Susan Rubin’s call on March 6th, 2024 at 4:23 pm.
So, in other words, on one hand, Rubin says that I am threatening my neighbors, but at the same time, I took a break from threatening them, and then was bragging to them about defying a citation, which I had already complied with.. What a complete schmuck.. Make sure to listen to It’s one of the craziest, criminal 311 calls in history.
This can all end tomorrow if she turns BabyLady back over to me. Regarding the fraud and criminality of what she has already done on GoFundMe and with her false report call on a recorded line to 311 Broward County, well that’s up to the authorities. But, as for me, when I have BabyLady back in my arms, this will end. My family and I will be able to move on with our lives. We are Not moving on without BabyLady. We will continue to fight Rubin with truth, evidence and facts. And we will bring BabyLady back home.
One of the founding principals of Marshall Arts is to use the enemy’s strength against them. Don’t try to out muscle someone stronger than you. Use their own weight against them. When your enemy is charging at you, step aside and push them in the direction they’re charging.
19 hijackers did just that using 4 planes and box cutters, and turned the 800 pound Gorilla upside down. They took down the Twin Towers, they severely damaged the Pentagon, and took a plane down in Philadelphia killing everyone on it. Not in a million years could anyone even dreamed that as a possibility. It was unthinkable and unimaginable.
Let’s remember, in February of 1993 there was a terrorist attack below the North Tower of the World Trade when a truck detonated killing 6 people and injuring 1000 people. A freaking disaster to say the least.
But that wasn’t good enough for the terrorists. And other terrorists organizations learned that traditional bombing attacks wasn’t going to work. NYC’s infrastructure was too strong.
So not only was 9/11 a life changing experience to the United States, but, it was a break-through for terrorists. They knew that success was found not by going up against the 800 pound Gorilla, but by going with him. Use their own strength against them.
Terrorists organizations having been practicing that same methodology here and around the world. The San Bernardino attack in California. Some of terrorists arrested in conjunction with that attack admitted they loved America’s loose gun laws. It was easy for them to kill a-lot of people. In July of 2016, a 31 year old terrorist took a rented cargo truck and ran over 86 people at a firework’s celebration. In October of 2017 in NYC, a terrorist sped down a bike-only path killing 8 people and injuring 11.
9/11 opened the floodgates of terrorism.
The take away for me is to be cognizant of my surroundings. If I’m in a crowded place, I am aware of that. I don’t get lost in the experience anymore. Same thing with concerts, which I don’t go to, but if I did, I’d have some safety rules for myself I did go them. Look at the Ariana Grande concert in May of 2017 at the Manchester Arena in England, a suicide bomber killed 19 People and injured 50.
My own personal timeline with the Twin Towers:
1. In 1975 I went to the Twin Towers with my father (hard-hat and all) as construction was in it’s final chapters. The landlords were inviting commercial real estate brokers to start marketing office space to their clients.
2. In 1994, I interviews with Wil Raub at Cantor Fitzgerald on the 103rd Floor. I did not get the job due to lack of experience. Wil was killed on September 11th, 2001. He was a nice man. He told me never offer to work for free on Wall Street.
3. I commuted through the Twin Towers to NJ everyday from 1995 util the summer of 2000. I spent a lot of time in those towers even on a social bases.
4. I lived at 300 Mercer street, a mile north of the towers when they were destroyed. I was never able to return home again. My apartment smelled like burnt rubber tires.
When I think of the B-line experience I had walking through the towers in 1976, to living near the towers when they fell on September, 11th, 2001 it all seems surreal. 19 years later surreal.
The result of breaking up a dogfight between one of my own and a neighbor’s dog. Fortunately, the dogs are fine.
I was walking Rocky last night at about 7:30 pm. It was still light outside. All of a sudden one of my neighbor’s dogs managed to push through the enclosed fence at his owner’s house. He was about 40 feet from us at that moment. I knew that I only had a few seconds to avert a disaster. Being I could not outrun the oncoming dog, I lifted Rocky up to my chest level. When the dog finally reached us, I kept spinning in circles so he would not have a clear path at Rocky. But, each time he jumped up his claws landed on my back.
Rocky was squirming like crazy in order to get out of my arms and face the dog head on. And that is exactly what happened. Now, my adreniline was sky-high as I knew this dog could easly tear Rocky apart. So, I jumped right in the middle of them and landed on my back. There was a lot of wrestling going on and both of their claws were landing all over me.
Then, I noticed something, the neigbor’s dog while wrestling and acting aggressive, was never actually biting Rocky or me. Every time that I pushed his head away with my hands or feet, the dog just turned his head away. No biting. No teeth.
We got very lucky last night. This could have easily been a trip to the emergency room for Rocky and several weeks of hardcore recovery.
Lucky can always escape outside no matter where we live, or what house we live in. He’s truly an escape artist. But, because we love each other like crazy, after he escapes, he just waits for me right outside the front door. Lucky has serious seperation anxiety with me. Sometimes, I have to talk to him before I leave house and let him know that I will be home soon.
I don’t live with an attitude of gratitude anymore. I’m not a grateful person like I was during my Everybody Loves Sammy and Dr. Harp Seal days. All of that changed when Patrick and Sammy died and then the carnage of Covid.
But, that doesn’t mean that I don’t remember how grateful I was when Mookie Daddy was returned to me. I left Puerto Rico on March 28th, 2019. A week prior to that I adopted Mookie out to a family in Puerto Rico. I was absolutely heartbroken as I loved him more than anything.
When I arrived in Miami with Sammy, Henry and BabyLady, I realized that adopting Mookie out was a horrible mistake. In other words, did it really matter if it was 4 small dogs instead of 3 small dogs? – No. It would not have made a difference at all. But, I didn’t know that until I got to Florida. Upon that realization, I was totally crushed by that mistake on top of being heartbroken in his absence. When you adopt an animal out, it’s kind of like death. Meaning you will never see them again.
4 months later in August, the family that adopted Mookie called me and asked if I would take him back. I got the call while I was at work. I was so shocked that I almost fell out of my chair. The mother was going in for surgery and between recovering and her kids, she was not going to be able to take care of Mookie anymore. One week later on August 10th, 2019, my sweet little Mookie was back in my life. It was like death had been reversed.
Mookie is the sweetest boy in the world with his little kisses and tail wags. He has the best disposition. Mookie is so happy that sometimes he just rolls on his back waving his front paws up and down. He used to do that in Puerto Rico with me. Mookie remembers how happy we were and that happiness has been reinstilled upon us being reunited. There’s a very special bond between Mookie and myself. And that bond is unbreakable and unshakable.
Well, Grasshopper has officially taken over the household. The entire pack kowtows to him at this point. The Hopper is such a little boss. He has to be involved in all pack decisions. Even Lucky (bigger dog pictured), who is a “to himself” kind of dog, loves to be in the company of Grasshopper.
Not bad for a little Hopper who was living off the train tracks in North Miami Beach just a over a year ago. On June 23rd, 2021, I pulled him right out of the street by the tracks and into my car. He was just a boy who needed a break. So, I gave him one. Look how far he has come.
They say America is the Land of the free. Home of the brave. But, in reality, America is the land of the guns and home of the dangerous. You can’t go school anymore. You can’t go to a supermarket. You can’t go to church. You can’t go to a mall. You can’t go to nightclubs. You can’t go to college. You can’t go to concerts. And now you can’t even go to parades anymore. Maybe the Metaverse will save the world.
21 year old Robert Crimo lll opened fire on a crowd at a 4th Of July parade in Highland Park, IL. – Crimo killed 7 people and injured over 30 others. Two of the 7 killed were husband Kevin McCarthy, 37 yrs old and Irina McCarthy, 35. They had a 2 year old son. He’s now an orphan. Guns take lives and destroy lives.
Even if there were no bad guys, no mentally ill people and no terrorists, there are way too many guns in circulation.
It’s time that we protect “Actual People” over the Second Amendment. I am Not mystified by the founding fathers. I don’t care what they said or meant 230 years ago. I will choose humanity over the 2nd Amendment everyday of the week. Humanity is more important than rights.
The Solution –
We need to look at the gun industry the way we do with Motor Vehicles and cars. You want to be able to use a gun, get a license. You want to own a gun, get it registered. You want to operate a gun, then get some required gun insurance. Just like we do with cars. The age limit also needs to be raised to 25 years old. 18 to 21 years of age is too young. They’re still in college for Christ sake.
Let’s look at Japan for example. They have a population of 127 million people and yet they rarely see over 10 gun deaths in a year. The US has twice the population of Japan. So technically, the US should only have 20 gun deaths a year. But no. The US has over 30,000 gun deaths a year. Below is how Japan does it:
“If people want to own a gun, they must attend an all-day class, pass a written test, and achieve at least 95% accuracy during a shooting-range test. Then they have to pass a mental-health evaluation, which takes place at a hospital, and pass a background check, in which the government digs into their criminal record and interviews friends and family. They can only buy shotguns and air rifles — no handguns — and every three years they must retake the class and initial exam.”
Furthering The Solution:
1. NO ordinary citizen should be allowed to own any firearms other than a regular handgun that shoots 6 bullets, one at a time. No clips. No magazines. 2. We need to ban all assault weapons and any other weapons that can facilitate high capacity magazines. 3. The US needs to initiate a buy back program for weapons that have been banned, just like Australia and New Zealand did. We have to get those guns out of circulation. 4. Require all gun owners to carry gun insurance. 5. Allow the gun manufacturers to be sued.
Does this sound extreme? – It’s not. It’s common sense. You know what’s extreme? – Non stop mass shootings.
Rocky, Lucky and Polar Bear left Puerto Rico and landed in Miami two years ago this month. I had not seen them in 6 months. I was getting concerned about whether or not I would be able to bring them over to Miami. But in September of 2019, I pulled off mission impossibile and had the whole pack back together. All 7 of us, including Sammy. It was the biggest touchdown of my life.
Upon that touchdown, I put a video together called the “Pack is Back” with all 7 of my dogs. It was the last video that Sammy was in before he tragically passed on January 30th, 2020. In the coming months, I will put another video together with my surviving pack including newest member, Grasshopper.
My sweet Patrick was killed by the front and back tire of a car on August 19th, 2018. I was madly in love with him. I died with him that day. I’ve never been the same. Being Patrick’s human Dad was the greatest Job that I’ve ever had, or will have. My life was about making him happy. As I’ve written many times, I would’ve moved mountains and swam across oceans for him.
I’ve made a lot of new friends in the past year and have been reacquainted with old ones. A lot of people have asked me “Who is Patrick and what happened to him?” – Some even call me Patrick not realizing that anything happened.
This video is about my life with Patrick, his death, animal rescue in Puerto Rico, Patrick Swayze (yes, Patrick Swayze), and the introduction of rescue dog, BabyLady. The message is sad, moving, inspiring and ends up on a big up note. It was published on October 17th, 2018, sixty days after Patrick was killed.
Susan Rubin of DC is the lady who ran a fraudulent campain on GoFundMe from Nov 2023 through March of 2024.
It is a crime in all 50 states to make a false report call. In some states, it’s a misdemeanor, and in others, it’s a felony.
We finally received the transcription of Susan Rubin’s false report call to 311 Broward from March 6th, 2024 at 4:23 pm. As you may remember, Rubin is the lady from Washington, DC, who was caught on a recorded line making a false report call to 311 Broward. She called in claming to be Maria Sanchez, a worried mother living in South Florida.. Here’s the thing, Susan Rubin lives in Washington DC and she has No children. Rubin was not even able to pronounce the city she claimed to be living in. We have the recording, and below is the transcription of the recording.
This is the same lady who ran a fraudulent campaign on GoFundMe with her friend, New York City dentist Jennifer Jablow, from November 2023 to March 2024.. They used pictures of a dog not in their possession and unrelated to the dogs they were supposedly raising money for. Additionally, Rubin and Jablow lied about the physical condition of one of the dogs in their scam campaign.
Now, it is advised to listen to the call and read the context surrounding it before reading the transcript. Nonetheless, the transcript is below:
————————————————————————————————————————————-
Operator: This is Pam, how may I help you?
Caller: Ah, yeah. I want to report, ah, someone, um, I think some of the dogs have rabies. None of them have vaccines, ah, and they run around the neighborhood wild.
Operator: So, are they owned animals by any chance?
Caller: Yeah, they’re owned. The man who owns them is, ah, crazy. He’s mentally ill.
Operator: Okie-doke. What, um, where is this at? What city in Broward County is it located?
Caller: North Miami. I know he’s been given several, um, citations, police have been called to his house.
Operator: All right. Ma’am, I need to give you the North Miami call center number.
Caller: Okay, listen. I have called, uh, 954-834-1000, 954-493… Operator: 95… Caller: 95477… Operator: Ma’am… Caller: I’ve called like four different numbers. Operator: But…
Caller: How does nobody care that there are dogs with rabies?
Operator: All right, if you let me finish my sentence. The Miami Beach call center is a completely different telephone number than area code 954. They have a different area code, which is… Caller: I just want to talk to… Right, but you deal with animal issues, right? Operator: We do in Broward County, not in North Miami. I can get… Caller: So, I was told that… Can I give you the address? Operator: I can’t look it up, ma’am. Caller: I was told… I was told this is Broward County, okay? I called… Operator: Let me have the address. Let me have the address, ma’am. What is…
Caller: 805 Northeast 4th Street. It’s in… Or is it Hamdale? Hamdale Beach.
Operator: Hallandale maybe? Okay.
Caller: Yes.
Operator: That would be us. Well, you’re saying North Miami, so that’s different altogether.
Caller: Okay, sorry, I was wrong. I was wrong. We call it North Miami, but never mind.
Operator: Okay. Hallandale Beach it is. Okay. Let’s get this in. Now, for me to get this into the database for animal care to come out and get these dogs, I need your name, your telephone number… Caller: Right. Operator: And your address. Are you willing to give me that? Caller: Yes. Operator: Okay, good. Hold on. One second. All right. Your last name, please, is what? Caller: Sanchez. Operator: S-A-N-C-H-E-Z?
Caller: C-H-E-Z.
Operator: First name?
Caller: Maria.
Operator: Thank you. And your telephone number is what? Caller: 305-783-5922.
Operator: Thank you. What is the address? At your home address?
Operator: One minute, please. All right. And the man’s address is 805, right? Northeast 4th. Okay.
Caller: Do you want his name?
Operator: Wait one second. Owner is… Is he elderly or something? Or what?
Caller: No. Who is the owner? Who do you have in your…?
Operator: I don’t know. I have no idea. I’m just putting this in a data system.
Caller: He is… Okay. ah, he’s not the owner, he rents. And there’s three people who live there. He’s one of
them. He’s not elderly. He’s about 50. But he’s mentally unstable.
Operator: Okay.
Caller: And he’s threatened several neighbors.
Operator: All right. So, renter lives at location. Are they his dogs?
Caller: Yes. Seven dogs.
Operator: Oh, my God.
Caller: And it’s a small house. And he has… He’s living with his mother and sister. All are mentally unstable. All of the neighbors want him to leave. The house is disgusting. Smells like urine. It’s awful.
Operator: Okay. um, you’ve called the police, I guess, right?
Caller: They don’t do anything.
Operator: Okay.
Caller: And, in fact, he got a citation two months ago that gave him, I think, 30 days to get the… the dog that bit another dog, a rabies vaccine. And he’s bragging about how he’s… that he’s not going to do it. He hasn’t done it, he’s not going to do it and there’s been no follow-up by the police. There should have been follow-up and consequences for him not getting the dog, as the citation required, their rabies vaccines.
All our dogs and people are in danger from these dogs running around and… and biting dogs. And who knows when they’ll bite people.
Operator: This may be…
Caller: “You know, I have children. And he refuses to do anything.”
Operator: Okay. Are the… Let me ask you this question. I know it’s going to sound insane. Um, but, in terms of the dogs running around, are they all vicious? Are they… are they, ah… is… are they not treated properly?
Caller: No, the one… They’re not… they’re terribly neglected. Ah, I don’t think they’re fed much. Um, you know…
Operator: Okay, all right.
Caller: Like I say, the house smells like urine. You can smell it from outside.
Operator: Okay.
Caller: So, there’s something bad going on. And if dogs are… are allowed to just run around, how much care are they getting?
Operator: I understand.
Caller: [0:07:39.8] [unintelligible] …obviously dirty and it’s really very sad.
Operator: Yeah.
Caller: It’s very, very sad for the dogs. It’s not the dogs’ fault.
Operator: All right. Um, just trying to see what other things could get. Okay. All right. I put the application in for animal care to go out. Ah, the number is A24-152159.
Caller: Hold on, let me write it down again. 824…
Operator: No, no, no. A like in apple. I’m sorry. A like in apple, 24.
My mom is 81 years old today. This picture is from 2012, back in New York City when Sammy was first coming up in the world. He was already 7 years old in this picture.
As many of you know, my mother got COVID in June of 2022.. She’s never been the same. She hardly gets out of bed anymore. My dogs have been very healing for my mother. There is always one or two of my pack lying down next to her. She pets them a lot. They have been really good for my mom, and she has been really good for them.
I think this pictrure is magical. It was a magical time in a magical city with a magical dog. By the way, did I say “magical” enough in that last sentence?
The thing I love the most about my mother, is that she’s knows I love my dogs more than her, and she’s totally cool with that.
Please read until the end of this post. This story will resonate with people from all over the world. You are going to feel great after you read this post. That is my Grasshopper guarantee to you.
It was three years ago when I pulled up to a red light right near the train tracks in North Miami Beach. The exact date was June 23rd, 2021, I saw this little creature bobbing and weaving between the cars stopped at the traffic light. He moved very fast and precisely. I said to myself, “Is that a fox?” He would look up, then pivot in another direction. After a few feet, he would look up and pivot again. I was like, “What is that?”
Then, I got a close look at him. He was a Chihuahua mix of some kind. And he was stuck in a very bad place. Think about it, the little fella was running along the train tracks with traffic flying by in both directions.
So, it was time to get serious. I opened the passenger door and said, “Little buddy, hop in the car.” He was looking at me, then back at the train tracks and all the traffic, then back at me. I said, “Little buddy, don’t worry. You are in good hands. Let’s get you out of here.” He hopped up into the truck from a standstill position on the ground. That’s when I named him Grasshopper.
Grasshopper is very sweet, bossy, pensive, observant, in everybody’s business, controlling, and smart as all hell. He also loves to touch everything with his paws. He’s very similar to a raccoon in that sense.
We went from the picture on the left in the collage posted, to the picture on the right pretty quickly. And the rest is history.
I think out of respect for the Hopster, you should all join our Grasshopper Club. Below is how you join:
1. In the comment section of this post, you have to write “I want to be a Grasshopper.” 2. You have to sing the song “Sledgehammer” in your head. But, instead of singing the word “Sledgehammer,” you have to replace it with “Grass-Hopper.”
Once your comment is posted, and you’ve sang Sledgehammer/Grass-Hopper in your head, congratulations, you’ve become a grasshopper.
This is the greatest club I’ve ever belonged to. I can tell you that.
My father was Jewish—he died in 1984. I am not Jewish—I was raised by a Black man and an Italian Catholic mother.
As for me, I am a humanitarian and an atheist. I would remind everyone: if you were born into the lives of those you oppose, you would feel exactly the same way the opposing side does. Remember that. In reality, your beliefs are an accident. You only believe what you believe because your parents had sex in a certain part of the world and you were conceived. I will repeat this paragraph at the end. Stay with me, please:
I remember my biological Jewish father used to say to me in the late 1970s and early ’80s, “Scott, if the shit ever hits the fan in the world, run to Israel for safety.” While it was a well-intentioned comment from my late father, it was a dead wrong (pun intended) assessment. Israel is the last place on earth I would run to for safety. Quite the opposite, if I wanted to bring extreme danger into my life, sure, then I would run to Israel. And I have said the same many times in my life, way before October 7th, 2023.
If I were a young man coming up in the world in Israel, whether an Israeli or Palestinian, I would NEVER bring new life into that region. It’s not fair to bring them into a region with such violence, hostility, and volatility. If you are born a Palestinian, you will live in destitution and despair with no hope. And if Hamas commits atrocities like they did on October 7th and will do again, you will be slaughtered by the tens of thousands. No point in that life.
If you are born an Israeli, there’s a good chance you will get blown up by a suicide bomber or violently killed with the many more October 7th type attacks that will happen over and over again. It’s not a question of “if” this will happen again. It is a question of “when” this will happen again. No point in that risk.
That is where Scott Smith gets off the train. Because I know the truth, when it comes to Israel/Palestine, “The only winning move is not to play.” Translation: don’t have kids. It’s not fair to them. If you must have a family, move to another country. If you can’t afford to move to another country, adopt a child and/or rescue an animal. There are plenty of them in need in Israel/Palestine/Gaza.
Retribution City—A Cirle of Hate
This conflict will never end in this life or the next 10,000 lives. October 7th was Israel’s 9/11. No question about it. But, October 7th is going to happen again and again. And Gaza will be turned to dust again and again. And the beat goes on and on and on. Again, I can only speak for myself, I would NEVER EVER bring new life into that region whether I was an Israeli or a Palestinian.
My late biological Jewish father is turning over in his grave right now. We have campuses all over the United States where Jewish students don’t even feel safe anymore. Life will be much harder for young Jewish people coming up in the United States for a long time to come. I wish it was not the case, but it is until otherwise noted.
As for me, I am a humanitarian and an atheist. I would remind everyone: if you were born into the lives of those you oppose, you would feel exactly the same way the opposing side does. Remember that. In reality, your beliefs are actually an accident. You only believe what you believe because your parents had sex in a certain part of the world and you were conceived.
What’s the point in me saying this? – The point is to say that we are really all the same. But somewhere along the line, ideals became more important than actual lives. And now, blood, death, and violence are running rampant.
My biological father died in 1984 at 45 years old. I was only 14 years old at the time of his death. I really did not know much about him and was not connected to him at all. A few months after his death, my family and I met Dennis Brown, who was in charge of the moving company we were going to use to move.
We became very close to Dennis during this process. He became a father figure to me when I needed it most. He and I remained very close until I was 27 years old. He was the father I was meant to have. Life threw me a gift when Dennis Brown came into our lives. He was also my friend. We had a lot of fun together. I guess he was like my Genie in the Bottle.. Only he was real and not in a bottle.
My biological father and I had nothing in common. He loved watching sports, going skiing, and he thought sleep-away camp was the greatest thing ever for kids. I despised all three of those activities. As such, I never really enjoyed my time with him. Today, I would not go for a beer with him if he were alive. We would have nothing to talk about. I don’t give a shit who won the Super Bowl.
Dennis taught me to be a man. A good and strong man. He was a beam of light in a sometimes very cold world. Whenever people were around him, they lit up like a Christmas tree. He was so positive about everything and always carried a big smile on his face. Some beings are so lit up on the inside that they shine on their exterior. Dennis Brown was like that.
Sadly, he died of cancer on October 5th, 2015.. I was in Puerto Rico at the time. I spoke to him on the phone the day before he died. He was telling me that he was getting better every day. He remained positive until his very last breath.
I don’t believe in God or Heaven at all. But, if I’m wrong, I would ask that God send me to wherever Dennis Brown is.
If they ever tell my story, let them say I walked with giants. Let them say I lived in the time of Dennis Brown.
Sammy was inducted in the United States Army in 2012.
– Memorial Day 2024
Sammy put smiles on millions of faces around the world. He lifted people’s spirits from all walks of life. His alter ego, Dr. Harp Seal had the same effect on people. So much so, Sammy caught the attention of the United States Army. And most particularly, the attention of retired veteran, Enrico Dexter.
Mr. Dexter put in a request for the US Army to customize a soldier uniform for Sammy. I am pretty sure that Sammy is the only 10 pound Pomeranian to ever be inducted into the United States Army. I was so proud of my boy and grateful to Soldier Dexter. It was an incredible moment and honor for the Everybody Loves Sammy Community.
Only once in a thousand years or so do we get to hear a Mozart or see a Picasso or read a Shakespeare. Sammy was one of them. (Quote from Billy Crystal on Muhammad Ali).
In Observance of Memorial Day, the DriveWithCompassion.com and Everybody Loves Sammy online communities salute Mr. Enrico Dexter, Army dog Sammy and to all members of the military, who are serving, have served and those who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms today.
Lucky is my forever heart. I will always be lucky in love with Lucky.
Sometimes you just walk out of the house and your life changes forever. You don’t remember your life before that day. That is what happened seven years ago on May 10th, 2017 when I first encountered Lucky on the street in Puerto Rico. This boy took my breath away. I was electrified by him from the onset. Today, is the 7 year rescue anniversary of Lucky and I rescuing each other. Lucky is my forever heart.
Let me tell you our story:
It was a ordinary Wednesday evening on May 10th, 2017 in Puerto Rico. I was feeling kind of restless and hungry and went to a local eatery for a sandwich. As I was eating, I started gazing out the window very spaced out and preoccupied. I felt agitated and unsettled. Then I noticed this sweet boy in the cover picture with me living alone on the street.
I brought him some food and sat down with him. I was so enamored with him that my head was spinning. Meeting this boy was a life changing experience. I decided to pull him off the street and have him boarded at a very fun place for 5 weeks with a lot of other dogs. Every Saturday and Sunday I would go visit him. I started to realize that he and I were forever. Now, I just had to convince my wife at that time in order to bring him home. But, luckily for Lucky (pun intended), the only answer I was willing to accept from my wife was, “Yes.” Guess what her answer was? You got it. The next day Lucky moved in with my human family and pack.
The truth is, the world wasn’t big enough for Lucky and myself to not find each other. This had to happen.
Lucky and Scott at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in Puerto Rico
In September of 2017 Hurricane Maria pummeled Puerto Rico. As many of you might remember, I launched the “Lucky In Love Relief Fund for Stray Animals in Puerto Rico.” We raised $7,000 and bridged a fair amount of stray animals back to life. When Patrick was killed in August of 2018, Lucky would press his head into my chest several times a day. He knew that’s where the pain was. He did the same when Sammy died on January 30th, 2020.
I am so in love with Lucky that I coined the phrase and created a t-shirt that says “I Love My Dog Like A Crazy Potato” on the front. And on the back it says, “Love Doesn’t Have To Make Sense.
We have been through some tough times together. Hurricane Maria, the loss of Patrick, the loss of Sammy, Covid, losing our home in 2021 and so on and so on. Lucky is a professional escape artist as you all remember from back in Puerto Rico. Well, he continued the same here in South Florida. He has serious separation anxiety with me when I leave the house. He has been this way since I pulled him off the street back in Puerto Rico on May 10th, 2017. When I left him in Puerto Rico for 6 months in 2019 while I was getting set up in Florida, it hurt him very badly. I was absolutely destroyed leaving him, Rocky and Polar Bear behind during that time also. I did find a family to take them in at that time for $800 a month.
Lucky and Scott in Florida. We share the same heart.
A lot of people would have said goodbye to them right then and there. But, the second I landed in South Florida on March 28th, 2019, I had one thing and one thing only on my mind: To bring my boys over to Florida. Six months later, I pulled off mission impossible and had us all back together under one roof in Florida. As such, Lucky’s seperation anxiety was very continued his escape artistry here in South Florida. He’s calmed down a lot at this point. But, one day in December of 2023, he got out and got himself in a very serious predicament. I was actually in discussions about giving him up. As I have gotten older, It was becoming more difficult keeping up with him. Fortunately, I backed out of those discussions because I could never live without him. Lucky is my forever heart. We will finish our lives together as a family. And that includes BabyLady too.
Seven years ago I told the world, “This is No ordinary Love.” And that still holds true today. Lucky is my soulmate. I did not say soulMutt. No. I said “Lucky is my soulmate.” – I will always be lucky in love with Lucky.
Happy 7 year Rescue Anniversary Lucky. Thank you for rescuing me.
Puerto Rico can have a Fresh Start with a Stroke of a Pen:
The U.S can afford anything it desires. The only catch is that it has to be a priority to them. Whatever the U.S. wants, the U.S. gets. If the United States wanted to go to war with Iran, how fast would they find a few trillion dollars? If Greenland would be willing to sell itself, how fast would the U.S. find billions of dollars?
Let’s look at two actual examples:
1. When the U.S. wanted to invade Iraq in 2003, was money an issue? Nope. A blank check was thrown at the war. And Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. According to Brown University’s highly respected Cost of War Project, post 9/11 wars have cost trillions ofdollars, and worse, killed hundreds of thousands of people.
2. In 2008 during the banking crisis, congress came together in a blink of an eye and authorized a $750 billion check for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, aka TARP. It was literally a bailout for the banks and the auto industry. Additionally, the Federal Reserve pumped more than $4 trillion of stimulus into the economy from 2010 through 2014.
Remember, the U.S. can print its own currency. They can create money faster than a magician can say “Shazam.” It’s time for the U.S. government to wave its magic wand at the 3 million plus American citizens residing in Puerto Rico. We have a humanitarian crisis for both people and animals over there.
This is not a U.S. bashing article. I’m presenting an opportunity to bring Puerto Rico back to financial life.

The people of Puerto Rico have suffered enough. “No Mas” they said taking to the streets in July of 2019 with the biggest protests in the Commonwealth’s history, forcing the resignation of Governor Ricardo Rosselló. The protests were a long time in the making. Puerto Rico has been plagued with corruption (from healthcare, to education, politicians themselves and recently, a FEMA arrest was made), reckless spending and policies set forth by the U.S., stifling their economy for decades.
It’s been over 2 years since Hurricane Maria pummeled Puerto Rico. Financial relief has been slim and slow. Over 250,000 people have left the island since the hurricane hit. A total of 600,000 people in the last 10 years. Maria’s damage is estimated at $100 billion. A staggering figure. Just to put that in perspective, the annual GDP for Puerto Rico is about $100 billion.
That’s on top of Puerto Rico being in the financial doldrums since 2006 thanks to Congress abolishing section 936 of Puerto Rico’s corporate tax code, a law that gave huge tax breaks to U.S. corporations in Puerto Rico. When it expired in 2006, manufacturing and big pharma started leaving. The island has been in a recession for 13 years now.
Puerto Rico is $75 billion in debt with another $50 billion in underfunded pensions. Bankruptcy negotiations are still pending. In July 2019, the oversight committee and bondholders apparently struck a $35 billion restructuring deal. The Fiscal Agency of Puerto Rico did not agree with one word of the deal. Additionally, some bondholders are calling the selection of the oversight committee unconstitutional. So, it’s anyone’s guess how this will play out.

It’s time for U.S. to step up for the people of Puerto Rico. No longer should the U.S. allow Puerto Ricans to die on the front lines of American wars, as they have for more than 100 years, and not be permitted to vote in the general election. Nor should they remain financially shackled by the Jones Act, established in 1920, costing Puerto Rico over $500 million a year. The cost of living in Puerto Rico is the same as the average state in the U.S. Yet, If Puerto Rico were a state, it would be twice as poor as the poorest state of all, Mississippi. How can any society have a balanced budget with that logic?
Pretense and Solution –
The U.S. should write a check to Puerto Rico in the amount of $125 billion. Wipe out the $75 billion in municipal bond debt and fully restore the $50 billion in underfunded pensions. The monies should be distributed directly to the bondholders and pension accounts bypassing all politicians and oversight committees. $125 billion is not a lot of money for a $22 trillion economy. To be precise, it’s 1/20th of 1%. Essentially nothing.
Let’s use the 2008 banking crisis as a precedent. The U.S. deployed almost $5 trillion to prevent the oncoming 2nd Great Depression, which was caused by Wall Street’s gambling addiction to derivatives and mortgage backed securities. That’s not even including the massive budge deficits they were running, which would take the figure well over $10 trillion. But, for the sake of argument, let’s use $5 trillion as the example. $125 billion is only 2.5% of $5 trillion. Aren’t the people of Puerto Rico worth that?
Dr. Daniel Nina, professor of Business Administration and Social Sciences at the University of Puerto Rico Humacao Campus explains that whether Puerto Rico becomes a state or not, or receives some sort of bailout, they have to become more self reliant. Puerto Rico imports 85 percent of consumable goods. At the turn of the 20th century Puerto Rico was only importing 15 percent. For the past 120 years they’ve been moving in the wrong direction, forcing them to become more and more dependent on the rest of the world. According to professor Daniel, Puerto Rico’s agricultural and household chemical sectors are fully self-reliant. Other important sectors of the economy are nearing self-reliance. Ultimately, Puerto Rico must become more self-sufficient in most sectors of its economy in order to prevent becoming a welfare state again.
In order for this to start to happen, the 100 year old Jones Act needs to lifted permanently. It’s blatant protectionism for American shipping companies at the expense of consumers. In this case specifically, the people of Puerto Rico. In addition, Section 936 of Puerto Rico’s tax code should be reinstated to incentivize manufacturers and pharma companies to come back to Puerto Rico. This would put them on equal footing with the rest of the United States. It would give the Puerto Rican people a fresh start to rebuild their economy.
So, the multibillion-dollar question is, when will Puerto Rico become a priority for the U.S.?
To all Parties Reading this Article – Fraud Alert and Animal Rescue Red Alert
I wrote this article in the hopes that this never happens to anyone or their rescue pets again. This article will serve as a benchmark throughout time for other animal rescuers and people to never put themselves at risk when dealing with Susan Rubin or anyone like Susan Rubin. I am here to report fraud taking place on GoFundMe, which is being perpetrated by Susan Rubin out of Washington, DC, and I believe that dentist Jennifer Jablow out of NYC is aiding and abetting in that fraud. I actually did not know about this campaign until a friend of mine mentioned it to me in mid-February. Had I known about it sooner, I would have written this article at that time. I will address both Jablow and Rubin in this article for all to see. I will include dark blue clickable resource links throughout this article and other reference links at the bottom.
Susan Rubin of Washington DC is a fraud to the animal rescue world. She is very similar to the Coronavirus criminal, Philip Capolongo.
My goal is to expose their fraudulent campaign on GoFundMe and to get my dog, BabyLady, back from Susan, who violated all of our agreements regarding my little girl. I am madly in love with BabyLady. She is the love of my life. Based on what I have learned regarding Rubin’s scheme to defraud on GoFundMe, this article had to be written. From a legal perspective, there will be no retreat in my pursuit of getting my sweet little BabyLady back. I’m so very sorry that I let this happen to her, but I’m going to reverse all of that now.
I will illustrate how Susan Rubin used pictures of another dog, which was not in her possession and had nothing to do with the dogs she was supposedly raising money for in her scam campaign on GoFundMe. She did this to defraud donors and drive donations higher. Additionally, she lied about the physical condition of the dogs that were actually in her campaign. More on all of that coming up.
Quick note before you continue: Susan Rubin, of the FB page “From the Pound to the Penthouse” has taken her name and picture off her fraudulent campaign on GoFundMe since this article was published on March 6th, 2024.. She also took down all of her fraudulent promotional posts regarding the campaign on her Facebook page. – Susan Rubin’s GoFundMe account is being investigated. Her scam GoFundMe link is enclosed at the bottom of the article.
We have the RECORDINGS.… On March 6th at 4:23 pm, just one hour and 23 minutes after this article was published, Rubin filed a false report call to 311 Broward and it was caught on a recorded line. It is arguably one of the craziest 311 calls in history. It is also enclosed at the bottom of the article.
I encourage everyone to read my email to Susan Rubin from January 28, 2024, and my email to Susan and Jennifer Jablow from February 11, 2024. Links to those emails will be provided later in the article. In Jablow’s defense, I don’t think she knew about my email to Susan Rubin on January 28, 2024. Nor do I think Jablow knew about the agreements I made with Susan Rubin regarding a trial period with my sweet BabyLady back in December 2023. Nonetheless, I am very confident she partook in Susan Rubin’s fraudulent GoFundMe campaign based on her deplorable behavior on Sunday, February 11, 2024. I will personally address Jablow in the last section of this article titled “The Infomercial Quack.” Both emails will give the reader a pre-perspective, so to speak. Again, all reference links will be provided at the bottom of this article and throughout it. I don’t want anyone linking out to other pages/websites at this time.
Scott Smith of DriveWithCompassion(dot)com
My name is Scott Smith from South Florida (originally from New York). Perhaps you heard about me from my website DriveWithCompassion(dot)com, which was created for stray animals living on the streets of Puerto Rico and around the world. Maybe you have heard of me from the animal rescue work I did during Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. The links will be provided below. I am also the gentleman who assisted the District Attorney’s Office of Manhattan in taking down The Coronavirus Criminal, Philip Capolongo. He was arrested and charged with four felonies on February 8, 2023. I worked on that case for over two years. He had been forging bank letters and selling assets he did not own for over 40 years. Capolongo destroyed countless families, including mine in 2020, during his 40-year run. We ended up losing our home by March 2021. But, thanks to my family and me, Capolongo’s scheme to defraud is over, and he’s living in a homeless shelter in downtown Manhattan. He destroys families no more. Susan Rubin is the Philip Capolongo of the animal rescue world.
I want BabyLady back Right NOW…. You are a fraud, Susan Rubin. You are the Philip Capolongo of the animal rescue world. I am going to substantiate that in this article. I will be 55 years old on May 24th. You are the WORST thing that has ever happened to my human family, my pack and my life.
Let’s Get To It:
Susan Rubin, of the Facebook page “From the Pound to the Penthouse,” and Midtown East, New York City dentist Jennifer Jablow, are currently defrauding donors through Rubin’s GoFundMe campaign. This scheme is reminiscent of the actions of the Coronavirus criminal Philip Capolongo (mentioned above), who defrauded people with forged bank letters. However, Rubin and Jablow are using a different tactic: they are posting pictures of another person’s dog, which has no personal connection to them and is unrelated to the dogs they claim to be raising money for on GoFundMe. Is anybody listening?
I am going to illustrate a few examples of fraud perpetrated by Rubin and Jablow below. I will also introduce everyone to my pack, particularly BabyLady, whom I want back immediately. From there, it’s up to GoFundMe, the Attorney General, and the District Attorney of Washington, D.C., to decide if they want to investigate this fraud. At the very least, it would be extremely negligent for GoFundMe not to investigate this matter.
Pay Close Attention to What is Presented Below:
Susan Rubin, assisted by Jennifer Jablow, has been promoting and raising money on GoFundMe for two dogs: my BabyLady (referred to as “Lady” on their campaign) and another dog named Noki. Yet, the picture above is the “before and after” rescue picture of my dog Mookie, who was rescued off the street in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, in December of 2018. On the left is when he was pulled off the street in horrible condition, as you can see. On the right is Mookie after living with me for about six weeks in Levittown, Puerto Rico. Mookie has been with me since December 2018. We have been together for five years now. He’s here with me now in Florida as I am writing this article. Is anybody listening?
Why are Susan Rubin and Jennifer Jablow using my rescue pictures of Mookie (originally named Romeo) from December of 2018 in Puerto Rico, who has been with me the whole time since? – What does Mookie in Florida have to do with Susan and Jennifer’s fundraiser for BabyLady and Nokia in Washington DC? – Exactly. It has nothing to do with Mookie. That is downright FRAUD my friends. That is INTENT to defraud. Furthermore, it’s interesting how Rubin and Jablow are describing me as this horrible person who would leave my little BabyLady in pain for 6 years, and at the same time, they use my rescue efforts and credentials to market their fraudulent campaign on GoFundMe.. Is that Irony times 1000? – Here’s several of my posts over the years regarding Mookie aka Romeo with the same picture: A Random Act of Kindness. Check out the same picture again in my Mookie Nickname’s post. I can show you a ton of Mookie posts (originally named Romeo) over the last 5 years. I will provide links to scroll through galleries of pictures and stories of my whole pack. You can also see me and Mookie in this video at the 5 minute mark through the 7 minute mark regarding his name change. You will love my little Mookie.
Now, let’s get serious people. I would anyone and everyone reading this article to text me so we can schedule an immediate FaceTime session. Let me show you Mookie in the flesh right now, right here in South Florida: 305 783 8600.… You can email me too: SESinspiration@gmail.com … Eh, eh, eh Susan and Jennifer, do NOT change or switch anything else like you already have done on the GoFundMe campaign. I have screenshots of every single word, update, pictures and pages. That will just make you look 10 times guiltier than you factually already are.
Jennifer Jablow and Susan Rubin, the only solution to avert a civil legal disaster is to return BabyLady to me right now. I also want a public apology for your despicable behavior and harassment of my community members on Feb 11th, 2024.
Rubin’s Fraud goes even Further and Deeper below
Image 1 from December 22nd, 2023
Image 2 from January 6th, 2024
Please see the the 2 images above ^^^^^^
More intentional deception and fraud on Susan Rubin’s GoFundMe campaign. Look at the above image on the left from December 22nd, 2023… Susan asks for donations so BabyLady could walk again. Implying that BabyLady can’t walk. Keep in mind she refers to BabyLady as just “Lady” now. So, don’t get confused. It’s the same dog. Now, look at her January 6th, 2024 update on GoFundMe on the right. So just 14 days later, BabyLady can run like the wind with no surgery. Lol. What changed in those 14 days? Nothing changed. You will notice on Rubin’s campaign (link will be provided below) that she repeatedly said the prior owner did “No surgery.” She said it over and over again. “No surgery.” “No surgery.” That’s exactly right. We looked into surgery 6 years ago in Puerto Rico as soon as she was pulled out of the street. It was deemed unnecessary as it was not even guaranteed to work, nor was she in pain. Suan Rubin got the same diagnosis we did 6 years ago. Read her above update from January 6th again on the right. So she jerked her donors around, while villainizing me as if I would leave BabyLady in pain for 6 years. What a total schmuck.
BaybyLady was walking and running with my pack and myself for the last 6 years. Rubin is acting like this is new news. BabyLady’s leg is not mangled. Her back left leg is disabled. And she has always been able to walk and run fast despite her disabilities. I told Susan many times on the phone about my trips to the dog park with my whole wolfpack including Babylady. This entire campaign is littered with fraud and downright lies. This would be a good time for readers to take a quick glance at my email to Susan Rubin on January 28th, 2024, which I mentioned earlier.
On the left is when I took over the BabyLady case in Morovis, Puerto Rico. On the right is BabyLady and me at Walmart in North Miami Beach. Suffering for years? What do you mean Susan?
Please see the collage picture above of the before and after rescue picture of BabyLady. That’s what I do for animals Susan…. What do you mean suffering for years? How about this picture which was 3 weeks after BabyLady was pulled out of the street in August of 2018? Make sure to scroll down inside the PDF. What do you mean could not walk, Susan? – Let’s take a look at this picture of BabyLady in December of 2018at a park with me in Puerto Rico. Her back left leg can clearly be seen here. Susan, what do you mean by Mangled? What do you mean she can’t walk? This was just a few months after I took her under my wing in September of 2018. – BabyLady was pulled out of the street in Morovis, Puerto Rico in August of 2018. You can see that here. Photo by Anitza of Morovis, Puerto Rico. Even in that horrible condition, she was running around that very day. I will put the GoFundMe team and the regulatory agencies reading this article in touch with my friend from Morovis, Puerto Rico on a moment’s notice.
How about BabyLady and Dad at Walmart in October of 2019. Suffering for years? – What are you talking about Susan? How about in June of 2020 when Polar Bear and BabyLady were running around the house together. What do you mean BabyLady can’t walk Susan? How about BabyLady basking in the sun? What do you mean suffering? -Let’s take a look at BabyLady in 2022 in a post titled “BabyLady – A Gift from Patrick.” Suffering for years? How about in November of 2022 with her groomer, Jenny in a blogpost called, “BabyLady, the Babiest Lady of All.”I recommend everyone read that post. It explains how the “BabyLady” name came about and her connection to the late great Patrick Swayze. Another highly recommended post with BabyLady is from 2023 about our history together.
How about this video here of my whole wolfpack? – You can see BabyLadyat the 13.40 minute mark through the 14.20 minute mark. Then again towards from the 22.20 minute mark through the end of the video. Suffering for years Susan?
Trasnfer of Ownership – Bogus Texts and Contract – More Fraud by Rubin below:
BOOM BOOM BOOM – The text above on the left is from Susan Rubin to me on December 14th, 2023. She was feverishly texting me saying she needed me to sign over the ownership of BabyLady to board the plane. That is an absolute lie. I have flown many dogs over the last 10 years, including most of mine. A passenger needs a permission letter from a veterinary facility that the animal has had all its vaccines and shots depending on the state they are travelling to. A passenger does NOT need papers of ownership. Take a look at the image to the right. I signed as the new owner of BabyLady. Why? – Because I knew Rubin she was lying. That’s what pathological liars do.
Look at Susan Rubin’s original fraudulent thumbnail picture (my picture by the way) promoting her fraudulent GoFundMe campaign. Rubin says, “Save the life of a precious Maltese in danger.” Save the life? Please refer to all the BabyLady links in the 2 paragraphs above. So, not only is Rubin committing fraud by using pictures of Mookie and acting as though he is one of the 2 dogs she’s raising money for (which he is Not), but then goes on to lie about the condition BabyLady is in. Not to mention, she is using my pictures to market her scam campaign with Jablow. That’s Intellectual Propertytheft. Save a life? – Susan Rubin took Babylady from me on Wednesday, December 13th, 2023. Here are 2 pics of BabyLady taking a drive with Dad (me) on December 6th, 2023… BabyLady Drive one. And take at look at BabyLady drive two.Let’s take a gander when I had BabyLady groomed on December 9th, 2023. Save a life Susan? WTF are you talking about? Susan Rubin, you are the Philip Capolongo of the animal rescue world.
GoFundMe, are you listening? Are you seeing this?
I put that smile on my little girl’s face. BabyLady smiles from the inside and out. And she lit up my life like a Christmas Tree.
Susan Rubin is literally trying to rewrite history from what has already transpired over the past 6 years starting from the day BabyLady was pulled out of the street. No Susan. You’re not a hero. My friend Anitza of Morovis, Puerto Rico is the hero who pulled her out of the street in August of 2018 in Morovis, Puerto Rico. Then, I took over the case in September of 2018 and transformed her like as can be seen in the picture above and in the collage picture a few paragraphs before that. I have made Babylady smile from the inside all these years. I stayed with BabyLady right up until I made the biggest mistake of my 54 year old life allowing a trial period between you and BabyLady in December of 2023.
SCOTT SMITH MADE THE WORST DECISION OF HIS ENTIRE LIFE ON DECEMBER 13TH
I should have never made a decision while being exhausted and just feeling beaten down in life in November and December. My schedule was pushing me beyond capacity in terms of my dogs, my human family, and being on the phones 9 hours a day enrolling people into their health plans all over the country. I was at wits’ end. But I have my strength back now and Rubin broke our agreements. And even worse than that, BabyLady is very Unhappy with her. I told Rubin to leave her leg alone. But no. She pushed for surgery the moment she landed in DC…. BabyLady is 12 years old now. She did not need her heart broken and then be blasted with procedures, poked at with needles, instruments shoved down her throat and etc.
Rubin has given me no updates on Baby Lady since December 15th. No pictures, no updates on progress. Or, in this case, lack of progress I should say. Nothing. And as mentioned before, just like I said to Rubin, Babylady was not in pain and did NOT need a surgery. She is just disabled. Alot of animals and people are disabled. The surgery never actually happened because even Rubin’s orthopedist said BabyLady is not in pain and can get around just fine. Like I said earlier, I guess Susan Rubin just wanted to jerk her donors around with a rollercoaster of emotions.
The trial period failed. I want her back now. I am not asking for updates about BabyLady anymore. I am demanding you give her back to me.
Susan Rubin also refers to me as a hoarder several times in her fraudulent GoFundMe campaign. Hoarder Susan? Really? Let me introduce everyone to my wolfpack. Here is my little Grasshopper, I pulled him off the train tracks in North Miami Beach in June of 2021. He is very smart and bossy. And really smart too. Here is Polar Bear and Dad. I rescued Polar Bear off the street in Levittown, Puerto Rico on December 28th, 2018. Take a look at Polar Bear galloping in the backyard at our home. We already know the story of Mookie. I took over BabyLady’s case in September of 2018 in Puerto Rico. Her story has been well documented already. Here is Lucky, I pulled him off the street in Levittown, Puerto Rico on May 10th, 2017. You can see that here: “Scared and Alone, Together and Complete.” More on Lucky, “This is No Ordinary Love.” That was our 6th year anniversary together. Checkout “Lucky, the Escape Artist.” Let’s move on to my dog Rocky. I rescued him off the street in Puerto Rico on November 19, 2015. This is a very moving story about him, “Rocky, my Little Big Guy.” We are still in the same house. Take a look at Henry, my oldest from NYC. – I have thousands and thousands and thousands of stories about my wolfpack.
We might not be a traditional family, but we are family nonetheless. I even mention my wolfpack on my FB dating profile. Who does that? Meaning, if a woman has a problem with my pack, she should swipe left and hit the road.
Look below at what the DISGUSTING SUSAN RUBIN has done to my girl. That’s not a sleepy dog. That is a miserably unhappy dog. Am I saying Susan Rubin is abusing BabyLady? No. I am not saying that. I am saying BabyLady is miserable with Susan. And now She must return Babylady to her rightful owner.
We all know animals have very good instincts:
I should have listened to BabyLady on December 13th when she tried to bite Susan twice because she was yanking on her ears while she was in my arms. She did not want to go with Susan. I should have kicked Susan Rubin the eff out of my house. Now, of course she’ll lie about that as well. But she and I know it happened. When Rubin’s mother died 9 years ago, who wrote the tribute? Me. That’s who. Of course, Rubin will lie about that now as well. 14 months ago, Rubin came to me to evaluate some pictures and a video of a family regarding a dog she had just adopted out to them. She asked me to help her get the dog back. Here’s the thing, there was a 4 year old in the video playing with the dog and the mother monitoring in the background. The kid was not yanking the dog’s ears or anything. And I declined helping Susan. Of course, she’ll deny that now. But, here’s what she can’t deny, Susan Rubin, you are the Philip Capolongo of the animal rescue world. And now you dragged friend Jablow into a very serious fraud and civil case.
Look at what Rubin had done to my BabyLady’s spirits in the picture above. She knows it too and couches it is as if BabyLady is recovering from her 6 years of trauma with me and my pack. Then, she will even have the gumption to say that BabyLady is coming around and show a happy picture of her that she stole off my wall. Like this one here. That picture is from my house. She took it down off the GoFundMe campaign already. But it’s still up on her IG account. What a fraud!
The only way out of this is to return BabyLady to me right now…. Regarding the fraud that has already transpired, that will be up to GoFundMe and the regulatory agencies to decide if they want to pursue.
I will repeat what I said in my email to Rubin and Jablow on Feb 11th, 2024, if these 2 jerks walked or drove by the 6 of my 7 dogs that were pulled out of the streets over years (mostly by me), guess where they would be? – Exactly. They would still be in the streets. My guess is they would have left this crippled and petrified raccoon to die alone in the street also. Let me say to Jablow and Rubin right here, grab one of my posters like seen earlier in this article, fly to Puerto Rico and get your rear-ends in the street and do some real advocacy work. There are 500.000 stray dogs and 1 million stray cats living in the streets of Puerto Rico waiting for you right now. For those that care beyond just bullshit gala parties stroking each other’s egos, like a Jennifer Jablow type, the dog pictured above in my poster is Levi from Levittown, Puerto Rico. He was hit by a car and instantly paralyzed right around New Years Eve going into 2018. Levi is the reason I created the DriveWithCompassion.com movement.
By January 18th, 2018, Levi felt some sensation in his legs and feet. We scheduled an immediate surgery for his spine. The surgery did not improve anything. Levi remained paralyzed. But at least he was adopted out to a very loving family in Wisconsin. If Jablow and Rubin drove by Levi that night like I did, he would’ve died in the street because they would have driven by like everyone else did. To all reading this article, look at what my team did for Levi back in Puerto Rico in light speed time. Does anyone think I would let BabyLady, the love of my life suffer for 6 years? – Susan Rubin is the Philip Capolongo of the animal rescue world.
BabyLady and Dad – Together Forever – The Real Story
Would you believe me if I told you that BabyLady’s name was inspired by the late great Patrick Swayze? – Would you believe me if I told you that Patrick Swayze’s video clip made a cameo appearance at the end of the video below to introduce BabyLady to the world? – We all remember the late great Patrick Swayze. He died of pancreatic cancer in 2009 at 57 years old. – I always felt terrible watching his painful demise. I always liked him. He seemed like a very nice down to earth man.
Let me explain:
It was the summer of 2013 when I rescued a dog from a pet store that nobody wanted and kept getting marked down in price. I could not take it anymore. So, in August of 2013, I went into the store and brought him home with me. I used to call him my little songbird because he used to let out these sweet little howls in the store not even looking at the people anymore. He had given up on anyone wanting him. He was killed by a car in Puerto Rico on August 19th, 2018. – I died with him that day. Not a piece of me. All of me died that day. The video above is my tribute to my sweet fallen Patrick. It’s a very sad and moving video. But it ends on a big up note when the late great Patrick Swayze makes a cameo appearance and him and myself introduced BabyLady to the world around the 22 minute and 30 second mark. My YouTube account is very inactive. Most of everything I have done and sometimes still do, is on Facebook.
The Infomercial Quack – Jennifer Jablow
Jennifer, on February 11th, you and Susan decided to raid a Facebook post of mine from February 9th insulting me and harassing my community members. It was just a simple one paragraph love story about one of my dogs. I have been writing love stories about them for 12 years now. You know that Jennifer…You have been trafficking in my communities for over a decade now. Nonetheless, you decided to pop in and say the post was a “charade.” In other words, I really don’t love my dog like I had written. So, it occurred to me that you don’t know what a “charade” actually means. So, I’m going to illustrate an actual charade with you starring in it.
Let’s take a look at the reviews, and then the complaints regarding your partners over at the Home Shopping Network. I will do the math for you; the overall consensus is a 1 out of 5 star approval rating. In translation, 20% of customers approve of Home Shopping Network’s products, while 80% DISAPPROVE. Read some of the reviews and complaints for yourself. These are not just online rants. They are very substantive comments and arguments. None of this is really surprising considering your partners over at the Home Shopping Network waited 7 years to recall a product that was inflicting serious and permanent Burn injuries on their customers. Read that sentence again please.
Now Jennier, let’s extrapolate that same math above regarding your products and the 2.5 million smiles that you are bragging about on your website…. 80% of 2.5 million customers = 2 million DISSATISFIED customers. That, is a CHARADE, Jennifer. The average cost of your products is $40. That’s not even including all the upselling going on. You and your partners at the Home Shopping Network raked in 100 million Dollars on products that basically do nothing. And 80 million of those dollars feel cheated and wasted. That, is a CHARADE, Jennifer. – Do you see the difference now?
Jennifer, I spent 20 years on Wall Street in finance. I was an accounting major at New York University. Then, a journalist in Puerto Rico focusing on animal rescue and welfare. I am very seriously thinking of blasting you with a slam dunk defamation suit. And with prizes like those numbers above, I will have contingency lawyers lining up to take this case. I might even organize a class action suit against your partners for bilking the public with 80% of products that don’t actually do anything.
The only solution for you and Susan to avoid a massive civil and truthful reputational beat down like both of you deserve, is turn Babylady back over to me IMMEDIATELY. Then, both of you are going to publicly apologize to me, my family and my community for your deplorable behavior on February 11th, 2024.
